"The nickname Maxi does remind me of a feminine napkin or a long dress that was popular in GloriaSteinem's era, but Max I can live with," Griffin said. "Believe me, she would've heard from me if it was a fruit or a vegetable or a kind of wallpaper or whatever these crazy celebrities are doing."

Other celebs weighed in on Simpson's birth and baby Maxwell Drew's name via Twitter, including HollyRobinsonPeete, 47, KirstieAlley, 61, and AlysonHannigan, 38.

Said Alley: "Jessica, huge love and congratulations! You deserve the most beautiful baby on earth."

How I Met Your Mother's Hannigan, who is pregnant with her second child with husband AlexisDenisof, tweeted: "Congrats to Jessica Simpson! Does this mean I now have the biggest baby bump in Hollywood?"

Simpson and Johnson's baby news aside, Griffin weighed in on another headline-making celebrity couple: AngelinaJolie, 36, and BradPitt, 48, who recently announced their engagement after seven years and six kids.

Though Pitt once said they wouldn't tie the knot until it was legal for everyone (particularly same-sex couples), gay rights activist Griffin doesn't blame them for changing their tune.

"I had to reach out to the gay community, and I said, 'How do you guys all feel?' And via Twitter and Facebook, they said, 'We're gonna give them a pass because they're such do-gooders and they do such good work. Even though they said they would wait for us, we love them so much,'" Griffin told Us. "They actually got a gay pass, and those are not easy to come by!"
